Quote from Christine Lambrecht (SPD), Federal Defense Minister: “It was announced that troops would be withdrawn after an exercise in Belarus and we waited for action, but unfortunately they didn’t follow the words. And that’s why it’s very clear that we too have to rely on deterrence in NATO. And I made it clear that we in Germany are ready to continue to get involved. To send more forces on land, at sea and in the air. We are currently in the process of doing this intensively “It was important to me to immediately send a signal through reinforcements here in Lithuania that we stand by our allies. We must ensure that the eastern flank is adequately secured, that we are well positioned here as an alliance. And that is why we are now examining what options we have in addition to what we have already brought up here as reinforcements in Lithuania, what options there are rd also give substantial opportunities. And then it affects the entire eastern flank. However, we remain convinced that despite the drastic development of the situation yesterday, talks must continue to prevent the terrible tragedy of a war in the heart of Europe. That must guide us all in the effort wherever we can.”
Germany is prepared to “provide additional forces on land, at sea and in the air for reinforcements,” said Federal Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht during a visit by Bundeswehr soldiers to Lithuania.
